FTP logging errors

I have narrowed down an issue with our symantec firewall which appears to be causing several of our ftp sessions from our UNIX TRU-64 script to fail to transmit data. The problem is that my script doesn't report any error. I have added verbose, trace, and debug but still cannot get the errors to come out. I am concerned that perhaps ftp is getting an error, but is unable to report what the error is. Does anyone know of any better tools for assuring that FTP drops of and picks up data successfully?

If you are behind a firewall you will almost certainly need to use Passive mode for FTP transfers. Your script doesn't set that, so unless the FTP client defaults to Passive mode any failure are likely
